Sepherosa Ziehau has been working on network performance, including making more network calls asynchronous. His test case using nginx shows that a single DragonFly machine can now take enough traffic to max out 2 10Gb links. That’s with 16Kb requests, and 30,000 of them at the same time.

A bug in the previous libcrypto errata caused an error when reading
ASN.1 elements over 16kb.
Patches for OpenBSD are available. Updated LibreSSL-portable releases
will be available later.
